Yesterday, the national biathlon team announced that Sebastian Samuelsson has tested positive for covid-19.

The news came after brothers Johannes Thingnes and Tarjei Bö tested positive last Saturday and then competed in the pursuit start.

Now the Swedish national team has been affected by more cases of illness.

Stina Nilsson has caught a cold, but tested negative on the corona test.

However, she will not start in Thursday's competition, but will be replaced by Ella Halvarsson.

Emil Nykvist has also fallen ill.
